Invitation to “No Nuke Asia Forum 2012”
In the aftermath of the Fukushima accident, countries have been reassessing their nuclear policy, calling for an end to the existing nuclear plant construction plan. However, Korea is heading towards the opposite direction. Rather than taking it as a valuable lesson, Korea has deemed the Fukushima accident as an opportunity to export nuclear power plant abroad and is thus promoting it by finalizing Nuclear Energy Promotion Plan. Nuclear Security Summit 2012, in particular, is being promoted as an opportunity to expand nuclear plant exportation.
To prevent this from happening, various anti-nuclear activists from all over Asia are preparing an event in Korea that band together the local people acting against the nuclear plants. This will be an event that strongly condemns Korean government’s nuclear policy, voiced not only by the Asian activists but also by anti-nuclear activists from all over the world.
